Director Ron Howard: For six grandchildren “no rules apply”

A house with six children? There are usually strict rules so that everyday life does not sink into chaos. But not with Ron Howard (71). The Oscar -winning director (“A Beautiful Mind”), who gives the most successful film sets the clock, admits that his house “does not apply to his six grandchildren”.

The four-time father and six-time grandfather reports on the edge of the Gala Yes Scholars 25th Anniversary in Los Angeles in California that he and his wife, high school love Cheryl (71), have become extremely loving and less authoritarian grandparents. “My wife, who was always a strict mother, a kind of disciplinary woman is now completely switched to grandma mode,” admits Ron and imitates a scene from her life: “‘Oh, come on! I don’t care how your diet should look like! I don’t care when you should go to bed!’ Rules no longer apply. “

The common, long -grown children are “a little surprised” about her relaxed mother and, according to Howard, have already asked: “Where were you when I was eight years old?”

Ron Howard, on the other hand, enjoys spending time with his family and proudly showing his work as a director, producer and actor from the past decades. But the big age range of his grandchildren, from toddler to teenage age, does not make the film selection easy. “Some of them are just discovering the ‘grin’.

Howard and his wife Cheryl are parents of four children. Her daughter Bryce Dallas gave them the grandchildren Theodore Norman and Beatrice Jean. The twin daughter Jocelyn Carlyle is the mother of Quinn, Sawyer and Elodie. Son Reed Cross brought daughter Aspen Leigh into the family.
